PAHL was proud to be represented at the ACRRE Conference this August! 🌱✨ @trustfreedmen Team member Taffany Hyatt , @theplantwhispererrr was highlighted during their POWER Day elaborating on WeatheRISE ATL, our work with @atlresilience. Exploring leadership, sustainability, community impact, and the power of women helping shape more resilient communities. We were also proud to see PAHL Executive Director, Tonya Hicks take the stage as the keynote speaker and moderator, inspiring attendees and guiding meaningful dialogue among leaders working across energy, equity, and community development. From delivering the keynote and moderating the conversation to contributing to the panels, PAHL showed up with purpose—and we’re proud to have our team represented in spaces where ideas turn into action. 💚 #PAHL #POWERDay #ACRRE #WomenInLeadership #Sustainability #CommunityImpact #EnergyEquity

It’s #NationalInternDay so we want to give a special shoutout to our interns who have been doing amazing work this summer and all year long! These students are truly the heartbeat of what we do! They bring their creativity, various interests, and diverse expertise to the table to create greatness! Thank you for the your dedication and commitment to all things sustainable!

Join WeatherRISE ATL and @atlresilience this Saturday! @shespeaksatl @gradyhealth Our team will be on-site sharing free resources to help Atlanta residents improve home comfort, reduce energy costs, and create healthier living environments through weatherization and home energy efficiency. While you're there, stop by our table and take advantage of a variety of FREE health services!!!

Our team joined @atlresilience for their Sustainability in Action Day showcasing the great work various Atlanta organizations are doing to ensure our residents live sustainably! We were happy to engage with community members and city employees to share all that PAHL has to offer and ways to get engaged in future efforts!

We had so much fun kicking off Earth Week at @martatransit Earth Day Clean Sweep and EV Showcase at the Kensington MARTA station! Our team not only connected with residents to share more about our work, but served alongside other volunteers to ensure that litter was removed! 🌎

We teamed up with the Morehouse College @bonnerscholar and @stretch_atl for another installment of Pilates on the Yard! Students participated in mat and reformer Pilates as well as a panel discussion with local young professionals! This is climate in action, wellness in motion!

At the Stay Rooted Southeast Atlanta Homeowner Resource Open House, we had the opportunity to engage directly with residents, share insights on WeatherRISE ATL, and highlight how energy efficiency can support long-term housing stability. Conversations like these remind us that real impact starts with listening, building trust, and ensuring residents have the tools to sustain change in the communities they call home!

Can you feel it? Spring has arrived and we are blooming, thriving, and shining! Cheers to a new season to live sustainably!

In the spirit of Women’s History Month, we’re reflecting back on our time at Benjamin E. Mays’ Sisterhood Summit. We engaged with 150+ students at their resource fair promoting resources for student wellness! This is an annual event that continues to blossom and we’re so honored to be apart of it! Sisterhood sustains us so we can grow together!

It’s the last week of our Winter Wellness journaling series! What have you learned about yourself? What are you carrying forward into the spring? Take a moment to reflect as we approach a new season. Celebrate your progress and what’s to come!

Spring’s almost in full bloom as we close out our 10-week Winter Wellness series! This week’s topic “Preparing for Renewal” reminds us that renewal begins before change is visible. As you approach a new season and transition, stay prepared for what’s next!

Winter has a way of inviting us to slow down not as a setback, but as a sacred pause. As the seasons transition, we’re reminded that growth doesn’t only happen in bloom. There is purpose in the quiet. Purpose in the stillness. Purpose in the in-between. Slow seasons give us space to reflect, reset, and realign with what truly matters. They allow us to nurture our roots before we stretch toward the sun again. Just like nature conserves its energy in winter, we too are allowed to rest, recalibrate, and move with intention instead of urgency. This week’s Winter Wellness Journal prompt invites you to explore consider what this slower season is teaching you. Where is there purpose in the pause? Sometimes the most powerful growth happens beneath the surface.

Our @pahlpulse interns have been bringing the heat nonstop! They continue to bring innovative strategies to educating young people about sustainability and climate action. Young people aren’t just our future, they are our right now! This is impact and legacy in the making. Follow and stay tuned for what’s next!

Colette’s work sits at the intersection of law, policy, environment, and liberation. It centers Black communities who are often negatively impacted and under resourced in the face climate disasters. We recognize that healthy, sustainable living goes beyond individual choices, it includes access to clean air, safe water, resilient neighborhoods, and policies that protect our people. Colette’s leadership reflects the impact of community power, sustainability, and systems change. This Black History is just a moment, it’s making an impact for forever.

Although the temperature has fluctuated a lot throughout this winter season, your wellness routine can stay consistent! We are nearing the end of Winter Wellness Journal, but it isn’t too late to get started! This week’s focus is social connection. Be intentional about surrounding yourself with community by attending an event, volunteering, or hosting family and friends! Join us! Download the Winter Wellness Journal today at 🔗 pahlgeorgia.org!

Younger generations aren’t just our future, they are our now. They stand innovative, fearless, and ready to build healthier, more sustainable communities for us all. Jerome’s leading the way, showing the world what’s possible when young people step boldly into environmental and climate leadership. As Black History Month nears its end, we stay committed to honoring leaders who build solutions for our future.

Our Scent and Send event in partnership with @sustainablespelman was a hit! Attendees walked away with their own signature fragrance from @unbound.fragrances fragrances, a letter mailed to themselves or friends, and knowledge about ways to get engaged with PAHL PULSE. Love was definitely in the air and our love for sustainability, climate action, and wellness will always ring true!

We were elated to work with students at @gt_isye through the Community Service Project! They developed an Urban Greenspace Analysis that leveraged publicly available data and mixed methods approaches to truly understand Atlanta’s residents’ experience at parks. Not only did their research paint a full picture of residents’ experience. It gave them a basis to make amazing recommendations on as well! We cannot wait to enact these recommendations in the future and bring quality park experiences to all residents no matter where they live!

Jacqueline Patterson is a powerhouse in the environmental and climate space. As the director of @chisholmlegacy, she works at intersection of climate resilience and community empowerment centering Black communities in the fight for clean air, safe water, sustainable energy, and economic justice. Her leadership reminds that Black communities have always been at the forefront of building healthier, more resilient futures. This is legacy.

Rev. Jesse Jackson helped expand the civil rights conversation beyond voting rights and economic opportunity to include the environments where we live, work, and play. Clean air, safe water, and freedom from environmental harm are civil rights issues. At Partners in Action for Healthy Living, we carry that same belief forward that community wellness begins with environmental justice and equitable access to healthy spaces. Today we honor his legacy. May he rest in power.

Whether your gifts are for lovers or friends, it’s so easy to make sure it sustainable and eco friendly! Love is patient, kind, and very mindful! Happy Valentines Day from your favorite PAHLentines 💕

Winter slows the light, not your vibe. Brighten your space with warm lamps, new decor , or plants shake off the slump. Small changes in our indoor environment goes a long way. While the weather is warming up a bit, it’s the perfect time to reimagine how you want your space to benefit you. Download our Winter Wellness journal today and take a moment to reflect and restructure!

Our WeatheRISE ATL initiative was the true definition of partnership, intentionality, and impact! Homeowners deserve to not worry about choosing between paying for utilities and other necessities. Through the weatherization process, we lowered this burden making it easier for residents in energy burden areas across the city of Atlanta to live.

It’s not too late to join our guided Winter Wellness journal! Take a moment for yourself this weekend to check-in. Listen to what your body needs! We’re closing out week 4 and gearing up for week 5!

Sometimes building a legacy comes with pivots and that’s okay. Will Allen was a corporate sales leader and pro basketball player who grew up learning how to grow his own food from his father who was a southern sharecropper. He paired his passion with a need he saw within his community and dove deep into the urban agriculture sector. He not only provided food for many who lived in areas where fresh, organic products were hard to access, but provided a space for others in this line of work to flourish as well! We salute him today and appreciate the work that he does which aligns beautifully with what our work here at PAHL sprouted from! Stay tuned for more because there’s so much more Black excellence and innovation to honor!

This week’s Winter Wellness topic reminds us to nourish the body and warm the soul. It’s a call to be mindful of the types of products we consume. Try out this Chai Hot Chocolate recipe that’s perfect for the winter season and eco-friendly! Pause for a moment, sip, and journal!

We are so excited to continue supporting and building with partners across the Georgia Tech community and cannot wait to do more good!

While the impact is seen and felt all year long, we’re taking this month to highlight just a few people who have paved the way or are taking new strides right now. It’s about legacy. It’s about our future. This is Black History. Sustainable. Thriving. Momentous.

If there’s anything we learned during our Gentle Movement webinar it’s that small, incremental steps towards building a wellness routine matters! You don’t need equipment, you don’t need fancy workout clothes. You just need the mindset that simple movements at home or at work can and will help improve your health! While this video may look a little intense, doing these simple movements in the comfort of your home with family or friends will help your body during these winter seasons! As the temperature drops, drop that worry as well and get moving! You got it!

We spent 2025 outside! Each moment was a time of connection, fellowship, and growth. That’s what it’s all about! Whether virtual or in-person, we can’t wait to do it with you all this year! See you soon, let’s work!

Being your best self starts with rest. You can’t pour from an empty cup, nor a tired one. Rest isn’t just sleep. Take a pause by: 🥗 Not working over lunch 🧘🏿‍♀️ Be alone in a quiet space 📱 Unplug and turn your phone off for a short time 🌲 Spend time in nature 🎧 Listen to music

Today, we pause to honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. His work reminds us the importance of collective efforts and collaboration to create a better future for generations to come. It reminds us that our work towards sustainable living, clean energy, climate action, and more are not in vain. May we see the fruits of our labor from seeds we’ve planted through community education, events, and action. 🌎

When it’s cold outside, creativity keeps us moving inside. Arts, crafts, and mindful indoor activities are powerful ways to combat winter lethargy.
